With Samsung DeX, you can use keyboard, mouse, and even monitors—though the feature set is limited to certain high-end Samsung models.

Inside the app, you can type using a virtual keyboard, or quickly manage input with gesture shortcuts that help you view and control what’s happening on screen. It can also turn your Android phone into a convenient command center for presentations and more demanding tasks.

Highlights

• Desktop layout on larger screens
  Samsung DeX reshapes apps and menus to match your monitor or TV, so you get a familiar, desk-friendly view. You can launch apps and handle everyday work while your phone acts as the computing hub—ideal for longer typing, reviewing, or editing sessions.



• Phone as a presentation controller
  Use your phone to control what’s displayed on a big screen. Type with the on-screen keyboard, navigate using gestures, and present slides or documents. This is especially useful during meetings when you’re moving around, but still want the display to stay current.
